Beyond Connecting the Dots: A Polynomial-time Algorithm for Segmentation and Boundary Estimation with Imprecise User Input
We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for segmentation and (open) boundary estimation which takes into account a series of user-specified attraction points. In contrast to exis...

Beyond the Euclidean distance: Creating effective visual codebooks using the histogram intersection kernel
Common visual codebook generation methods used in a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features into visual...

Sparse Representation of Cast Shadows via L1-Regularized Least Squares
Scenes with cast shadows can produce complex sets of images. These images cannot be well approximated by lowdimensional linear subspaces. However, in this paper we show that the...

Robust Visual Tracking using L1 Minimization
In this paper we propose a robust visual tracking method by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a particle filter framework. In this framework, occlusion, corru...
